Whether your learner thinks the past is boring or already has a passion for it, this course transforms them into tribal leaders, pharaohs, and adventurers! Over ten action-packed weeks, they won’t just study history—they’ll experience it.
From guiding early humans through survival challenges to ruling Egypt’s Three Kingdoms and vacationing through Minoan and Mycenaean ruins, learners dive into history through dynamic simulations. They’ll uncover the cultural legacies of ancient China, India, Israel, and more, discovering how the past shapes the present.
